Apple
@apple brings me some joy and a lot of grief; the lows are too low. Apple ID, no listing, individual privacy control, no data control.
“It’s no wonder people lack romance in their lives, love belongs to those who are willing to go to extremes for it.”
you need faith for the same reasons that it’s so hard to find

only a full house gonna make a home
that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you
Excuse me, are you lost? Perhaps you would care to visit the site map

I’m not sure I’m better about not flinching at things flying directly at my face/eyes, including water. I have become, however, very comfortable spraying Asea into my face with my eyes open. I probably still blink through it out of natural reflex — however I know it’s safer than water and hopefully much of it is getting into my open eyes.
The drawback of this comfort is that, if I’m not paying attention, I am liable to spray other things (like face-refresh toners and leave-in hair conditioners) around or at my face without thinking of closing my eyes! —Which, with anything other than Asea, is pretty disaster (and then I definitely run for the Asea to wash it out.) Very fortunately I use those other spray-type things very rarely, like 1-3 times a year, which also means I tend to have forgotten about the last time I tripped myself up and kept my eyes open while spraying one of those things near me.
Follow-up to https://ferrydust.com/journal/2333/flinch.Sylvia, my first flat-panel monitor, Samsung SyncMaster, 1600×1200 (which resolution was difficult to find for years after), seems to have died. For the past five+ years have had it as the vertical monitor; it swivels so beautifully.. I don’t know when I got it, was sometime before 2006, probably was around the time of Logos. I suppose that’s a decent lifespan, although I’m still disappointed. Will consider replacement. I’m sort of still hoping it will change its mind and turn on in full-working-condition, any moment now…
Initial report: I LOVE the Nexus 10.
It is so buttery smooth, fast, lagless.. I went ahead and piled on a reasonable number of apps (reasonable amount for me — not too many by my standards and way too many by most of my friends’) and let a bunch of them keep running in background and had it running constantly for several hours straight and the only snag/slowdown I experienced was a few seconds where the system hung—which then made me realize the device had gotten quite warm and I hastened to stop overburdening it (poor thing, I never let it have a moments’ rest since it got unboxed and charged), and then it cooled down quickly and was perfect again and I haven’t experienced any heating or lag since. I’m going to have to run a factory reset on the Nexus 7 and see if I can get that back to running smoothly again, but I don’t think it ever managed as smoothly and quickly on larger tasks the way this one does… I played Transformers in full HD on the Nex10 and could jump around without any delays or sputtering of any kind. Every pixel lovely.
I need a cover for it asap.. I know exactly which cover I’m getting, but it’s not available yet.
Also, the latest beta version Swype is YAY (Android’s own swipe-style keyboard is a fantastic addition to the stock keyboard, but Swype still is much more practiced,efficient,intelligent).
My thoughts so far on 4.2 (running on Nexus 7): …
I can highly recommend the Google Nexus 7; mine is much a part of my daily life.

She is awesome and they so should have her on the team.
The things this show gets right, it gets really right.
O_O I’d forgotten the contents of the beginning of Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and started the audiobook and ohmigosh. So much ohmigosh.
I think I’m the only person I know who’s completely excited to see Step Up Revolution 3D, and that’s easily because I’m the only person I know who saw Step Up 3D in 3D. People, you don’t know have any idea what you missed and what you missed was aMAYzing with really large font — exactly what 3D film should be and has never been in any other 3D film ever so far (until hopefully this next one which I am completely excited to see). I will enjoy it enough for all of you.
Where do I get the song Flii Stylz – Rush the Floor ? WHERE?! This is becoming irritating.
